      What I want to perpetrate upon the persons of ALL alt.slackers: I would like to promulgate the insidious rumor that everyone who posts to alt.slack is a homicidal zoophiliac heroin addict whose greatest pleasure in life is burning down Catholic orphanages. Then I would point in your direction the proper authorities who, under my conspiratorial direction, would actually be untrained squads of rape gorillas who had all undergone bionic surgery the purpose of which was to replace the gorillas' fleshy organs with gigantic robotic penises equipped with rotating, electrified fish scalers and glans-mounted flame throwers. Then I would assign fifty rape gorillas to each alt.slacker and confine them to tiny cells dug beneath the sewers of New York City.

      Today i had a chance encounter with our English department webmaster. Some alt.slacker--Oh, i wonder who it could be?--using the terribly clever nom-de-plume, ''anonymous,'' accused me of ''sexual harassment,'' among other transparent lies and misrepresentations. Our whole encounter exists in the public record, thread on thread, message on message; did he really think anyone would believe so outrageous a claim?
